Basically yes. Civil law between companies is first and foremost a welfare system for legal folks and a club to beat people with. If you don't have the money to pay, you can't play…

No it was not running Gingerbread, the first thing I did was hack it. It was running Cyanogen based on Ice Cream Sandwich. I would not be surprised by the fact that it was poorly d…

Microsoft did do it, they found no profit in it and quit. Google is still not making the full text of books available, although I'd guess long term that would be the smart move for…

Tell that to my garbage Motorola Photon which had a graphics chip

Who needs a 4 core device? Android users. Try getting an Android 4 device with 4 cores and 2 cores and compare them. The performance difference is stark. The 2 core devices feel ve…

I don't think customers soured on HTC because their phones weren't awesome but because of their shoddy support and updates. The HTC One is the best phone I've owned since their Nex…

My guess is if that's the case, and this device will be widespread and popular overseas, they will specifically target it.

I feel that is largely Nolan's intent, that Cobb has chosen experience over memory and guilt whether that experience is truly real or not.

I appreciate that sentiment. The Matrix is certainly interesting, but it's one of those things high schoolers use as a jumping off point and it is very trite and cliche. It's a lot…

Memento was literally a mystery film, and unless you kind of know which context clues to look for you're not really going to figure out what's going on until the end. Inception had…

Let the programmer who hasn't done something dumb with a Git repo cast the first stone. I know I'm guilty as can be and surely I'm going to transgress in the future. It does kind o…

Oh I actually haven't looked at the app, I was just talking about embedded video. I'm sure you're right about that, Android clients tend to lag way behind.

This used to be true, but what issues are you having with mobile? Since Android support was added, I've had few issues with it.

According to Vimeo's guidelines, you just can't upload gameplay videos. It says specifically you can upload first party videos but need to mark them to avoid deletion. With the hug…

I'm not sure you can have both high quality content and a zero barrier to entry. I actually think YT does an okay job surfacing some decent content for folks on the homepage, espec…

Yeah you are right on about that. I always wondered why they aren't more friendly to their own content for nonusers because they're very friendly to discovery when you're logged in…

I don't think G+ has much to do with it, more the self-moderation, but I will say the commenting on YT has improved significantly in the last few months. That of course means we've…

uh, you mean like Vimeo?

Just so ya'll know, the main crux of this deal for the US is that they're going to be a major natural gas supplier to the United States of Europe to cut off Russia from it. This is…

So the entirety of English society helped pay to make Rowling incredibly wealthy. That seems like a pretty massive concentration of wealth for little benefit to society as a whole …

Why is this treated like some insight? People who are running big successful companies are too busy to do a lot of stuff, blogging just yet another thing.

I wonder if the reason you were having trouble with Liquid is that you were using it incorrectly. It's definitely meant to be secure over simple. Was the issue you were having a bu…

OHHHHHHH bootable. I'd never actually tried that as I've always installed in a VM. Now that makes sense as to why the Mac version wouldn't work when I tried it in a VM.

Can someone explain to me what's different about the Mac and PC versions of 64 bit Ubuntu? I've seen these Mac versions show up lately but what's in them? I can't find the data cle…

I think this company is interesting but am disturbed by every time I read an article about them, they just laugh off privacy concerns. It's not 2013 I'm worried about with someone …
